Chappatis/Indian Flat Bread
Chappatis are made daily in almost all Indian homes. It takes a little practice to be skilled at making chappatis. They’re very healthy. It is best to serve them hot.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Pinch and form lemon sized balls from the dough. Depending on how many chappatis you are making
* Step 2
Heat the griddle on high flame
* Step 3
Flatten the ball with your palms maintaining the circular shape
* Step 4
Add a drop of oil in the centre of the flattened ball and spread it evenly on it (only one side)
* Step 5
Sprinkle little flour on the oiled surface
* Step 6
Bring all the ends together and push it in the middle
* Step 7
Flatten it again, retaining the circular shape
* Step 8
Dust the flat circle in dry flour on both sides
* Step 9
Add little flour to the board, so that the chappati doesn’t stick while rolling
* Step 10
Roll the circle into a round flat disc/chappati (not too thin/transparent) maintain the same thickness all around
* Step 11
Turn the chappati clockwise while rolling and flattening. Flip it both sides. Sprinkle flour if it’s sticking to the board.
* Step 12
Place it on the hot griddle
* Step 13
When you see little bumps, flip it over, and brush it with oil. (use less oil as possible for it to be more healthy)
* Step 14
Now flip it over to the first side and brush it with oil the same way
* Step 15
Flip again to see if the bumps are light brown in colour
* Step 16
If it puffs up...it’s just PERFECT!!
* Step 17
When the bumps turn brown on both sides, your chappati is ready.
